## Resource

Miss Manners weighs in on a classic etiquette clash: phone usage during face-to-face hangouts. The verdict? Tech doesnt trump in-person manners. Quick calls are acceptable with a promise to call back, but leaving others waiting isnt cool unless its an emergency. Keep the focus on the present company, let voicemail handle the rest.
